Here is a little summary from a website:
A Derma Roller is a small hand held device that is mainly used for Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT). As you roll it onto your skin, it triggers its regeneration by signaling your body to naturally produce new collagen and elastin, the proteins that make up most of the dermis.
A Skin Roller can be used for a variety of skin problems, including:
Alopecia (Hair Loss / Hair Thinning)
Wrinkles
Scars (including acne scars)
Skin Discoloration / Hyper-Pigmentation / Uneven skin tone
Cellulite, Stretch Marks
Large/Open pores
Loose / Sagging skin
You roll it across your skin 5-ish times each horizontally, vertically, diagonally. Spas / Derms charge $100-250 to roll it across your face for you
